The Volt might be down on Horsepower ... BTW its got a 278-ftlb torque. Same as a camaro. Now I don't mean its fast but in gear acceleration is good. Getting from 20 to lets say 30 is not bad at all. Feel like you are doing so in 4th gear (on a manual 2LT).

I know a Lot of people here have two cars. The camaro is their baby and they also have a regular everyday/family car. Now I wish I was that lucky :-D. Think of the volt as the replacement for your Camry/Malibu/Accord etc and it will make more sense.
Also to all the people here talking about math and volt and price .. when did we car folks ever complain about something we like being overpriced. Im sure there are a whole bunch of Kia driving folks that complain about the Camaro being a pointless car that is "too expensive". Lets not be one of those folks. If you want something there is no price tag for it.

That said I am trying to see if I can somehow keep the camaro and still get the volt. Ill have to see what the lease deal works out. If I can get a lease under 400 Ill probably payoff the camaro and still keep it. Lets see how it goes....
